‘Fear Street’ Comes To A Dead End

There’s a line in a Simpson’s episode where Homer asks Marge, confused, “Is this a good ending or a bad ending.” And Marge just replies, “It’s an ending.” That’s the same feeling I got after watching Fear Street Part Three: 1666.

‘Aliens’ A Bigger, Better Sequel

In all honesty, you could probably blame all sequels of the modern era on James Cameron who made them so damn good, Hollywood execs saw money signs and decided to greenlight any sequel that had any chance of making more money. Aliens, released this month in 1986, was only his third movie credited as aContinue reading “‘Aliens’ A Bigger, Better Sequel”

‘Godfather Coda’ A Change That Can’t Be Refused

I had never seen either of the first two Godfather movies when I heard rumors in 1989 that Sylvester Stallone was going to star in the third Godfather movie. Don’t laugh but the late film critic Roger Ebert once said that Stallone reminded him of a younger Marlon Brando. After Rocky came out, it seemedContinue reading “‘Godfather Coda’ A Change That Can’t Be Refused”
